Guidelines
Applications must include, in addition to the forms, an abstract of the paper/poster, a copy of the meeting announcement (or similar), and a copy of the applicant's curriculum vitae. Additional materials may be attached where deemed appropriate by the applicant. Requests that do not include all required materials will not be considered.
• Applicants MUST have presented a poster or an oral presentation as a first author at one of the previously sanctioned Student Research Conferences in order to be eligible for a Mini-Grant. To clarify, this means that anyone who wants to apply for the 2020-2021 grant cycle will have to have presented at any previous conference up to the most recent conference (April 2020). Note: The April 2020 conference will count for the April 16th, 2020 deadline. Please see the Student Research Conference website for more information.
• Mini-Grant applicants must be presenting a poster or an oral presentation as a first author at the conference for which they are applying for funding. Workshops will not be funded.
• Priority will be given to first time applicants.
• Applicants may receive up to one award per year (e.g.,if you received an award in either the September 2019 or April 2019 grant cycle, you are ineligible for mini-grants during the January 2020 cycle).
• All materials must be included with the initial application as described in the directions. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
